But you might know her better as this... in all her original glory.
I decided that since I would only be wearing it once I'd just check out thrift stores, because what's the point in buying a brand new jean shirt, I'll never wear again? So, off we went on the hunt for Rosie clothes. I got lucky and found the perfect jean shirt for $3.99 at Thrift City USA and then after looking at more than 5 stores, I found a red bandana. I really looked hard for the red with white polka dots but it was impossible to find! I found black & white and pink & white but no luck on red & white. So, I settled for red. I got that on sale at Michael's for $1.98! Talk about a steal!
So, costume totals... $3.99 for the shirt & $1.98 for the bandana + tax = $6.01
I'll obviously wear jeans I already have and use makeup I already have, so money saved on those two things! Anyway, I'm excited to dress up tonight and walk around with the kids. Should be a good time!
In other Halloween news, Gracie & I decided we'd do a glitter pumpkin this year. This is how you do it.
Supplies needed:
- Glitter
- Glue (you can use spray adhesive, but I ran out so I used wallpaper glue & it worked fine)
- Newspaper (to keep area clean)
Put the glue all over the Pumpkin and then shake the glitter all over. Make sure to have a clean piece of paper under the pumpkin so when the excess glitter falls off you can reuse it. Repeat the process until all of pumpkin is covered.
It's really that simple! This is what it looked like when she was finished.
And of course she chose pink! But really, you could do orange or black or any color you wanted! That's all for now. Have a Happy & safe Halloween!
PS. Sending love to the North East who were effected by super storm Sandy! <3
